KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Ayla Davies of No. 1-ranked Southern Oregon University was named the NAIA Softball Pitcher of the Week. She was selected based on her performances from March 24-30 and was chosen from a pool of conference/Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)/unaffiliated group nominees.
Davies, a freshman from Burns, Ore., had a terrific performance on the mound for SOU. She allowed just two earned runs across 23 innings with 27 strikeouts for a .60 ERA and a .64 WHIP. She now leads the NAIA in wins at 18-1 overall and is second in saves. She did not walk a batter all week and recorded a season high 13 strikeouts against Bushnell University.
Next up, the Raiders will compete in another competitive match up to complete the regular season series against No. 2-ranked Oregon Tech tomorrow.
